Chapter Thirty-Nine: Fruitful Harvest
The little skin in front of him was still the leather monkey, scratching his ears and cheeks in front of the stone wall, looking at the words on the wall and babbling from time to time, as if he was also fighting for Li Mu's life.
"Is there a mistake? Or is it that Shimen is in disrepair? Can this be the Dragon Clan? or the purest Dragon Bloodline?" Yan Jie looked at Xiao Pi suspiciously, no matter what, he couldn't associate this naughty monkey with the dragon in his impression.
Xiao Pi's eyes finally moved back from the wall, and he happened to see Yan Jie staring at himself with his eyes shining, and he was so frightened on the spot that his neck shrank, and he hurriedly drilled under the stone table in the center of the room, and his little head poked out from time to time to observe Yan Jie's actions.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, don't hide, even if you are really a dragon, I don't have the habit of pumping dragon tendons, skinning dragons, or drinking dragon blood. Yan Jie couldn't help laughing out loud when he looked at Xiao Pi's nervous appearance, maybe even he didn't know that he had already regarded this little monkey he picked up as a real partner.
After leaning out half of his body several times and retracting nervously, Xiaopi finally made sure that Yan Jie didn't have the idea of stewing soup with it, and swooped up on Yan Jie's shoulder, stretched out his little paws, and grabbed Yan Jie's hair, as if he was currying favor with Yan Jie.
"We know who the owner of this medicine valley is, and we know his story, but there is no writing on the wall how to get out of this cave, and it is said that he left his life's prescriptions and formations to the destined people, but I don't see where he is. Yan Jie touched his chin and muttered to himself.
The most difficult problem in front of Yan Jie now is how to leave this cave and join Long Lao, and since the master of the Medicine Valley has left behind a precious treasure, he can't steal the heavenly thing, he still has to find a way to get it.
Yan Jie once again inspected the stone house in this cave inside and out, and even checked every inch of the stone wall, and there was indeed no mechanism.
"This is strange, there should be a way or way to leave here, otherwise the design of the master of this medicine valley is too unreliable. Yan Jie really couldn't think of any way, so he could only turn his eyes back to the only furnishing in the room, the stone table.
Xiao Pi, who was originally squatting on Yan Jie's shoulder, jumped down first, jumped onto the stone table, and made a big circle on the table, looking at this and that, seeing that nothing had changed, he was so anxious that he scratched his head.
"Hey, little skin, you come down. Yan Jie, who approached the table, suddenly noticed something, hugged Xiaopi, and dragged it off the table.
I saw a small paw print on the stone table, which was left by Xiao Pi just now, it turned out that in the past ten thousand years, the stone table had long been covered with a thick layer of dust, and the footprints left by Xiao Pi on the table inadvertently made Yan Jie, who had ignored this point, suddenly realized.
"Haha, I'm glad to have you. Yan Jie hugged Xiaopi and praised fiercely, this monkey is indeed a troublemaker, but it is still a little useful at the critical moment.
Hurriedly wiped the dust off the table completely with his hands, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Yan Jie's eyes on the table.
"It turned out to be a Taiji diagram!" Yan Jie couldn't believe his eyes at first, and rubbed it several times before he was sure that the one engraved on the stone table was really the Taiji diagram from his original world.
In his early years of martial arts practice, although the cheap master did not teach him anything substantive in martial arts techniques, he did impart a lot of knowledge in traditional culture and basic theories, including the ---- hexagram, a very important part of Chinese civilization.
Tai Chi gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four elephants, and four elephants play gossip, this Taiji diagram is actually a gossip diagram, but how to crack this gossip diagram?" Yan Jie began to recall the master's explanation of gossip in the bamboo forest.
The gossip was first created by Fu Xi according to the two star chart calendars "Hetu Luo Shu" created by the Suiren clan, dry is the sky, Kun is the earth, the earthquake is the thunder, the kan is the water, the Gen is the mountain, the Xun is the wind, the separation is the fire, and the exchange is the Ze, this is the gossip, the heaven and the earth are positioned, the mountains are ventilated, the thunder and wind are thin, the water and fire do not shoot each other, and the eight hexagrams are the eight directions.
Yan Jie knew that Li Mu, as a master of the formation, must have designed something on this Taiji Bagua diagram, but he could never find the key to cracking the formation, and he always felt that he had missed an important link.
Just when Yan Jie was at a loss, Xiaopi jumped out again unwilling to be lonely, first slapped it with his paws on the table, saw that it was useless, and jumped a few times with all his strength, but unfortunately the stone table was still the same stone table, and he was not moved at all, so the little monkey jumped back to Yan Jie's shoulder in frustration, spread his hands, and said to Yan Jie that he could not do anything.
Seeing Xiao Pi's operation, a word suddenly flashed in Yan Jie's mind, Dragon.
"yes, I didn't think of that. Li Mu said that the treasures he left behind were all to repay the dragon clan a favor, so the dragon must be the key to unlocking this gossip table, gossip not only refers to the direction, but also can represent different totems, that is, Qian, horse head, Kun, ox belly, Zhen, dragon foot, Xun, chicken stock, Kan, pig ear, Li, pheasant, Gen, dog hand, Dui, sheep mouth. Yan Jie excitedly analyzed that he had grasped the crux of the problem.
Therefore, the mechanism of this gossip table is in the southwest earthquake position, and the element that triggers the mechanism is the dragon's foot, that is, Xiaopi's claws!
Without hesitation, Yan Jie grabbed the little skin that was still squatting stupidly on his shoulder, and when it hadn't reacted, he directly pressed its right foot on the southwest corner of the stone table.
A second, two, or three seconds later, a slight buzzing sound came, and the Tai Chi pattern on the stone table began to rotate clockwise, and then separated from the middle, revealing a dark grid, and a blue ancient book was lying quietly in the dark grid, which was the book that recorded what he had learned all his life mentioned by Li Mu, the master of the Medicine Valley.
At the same time, the stone table as a whole began to slowly descend, and soon descended below the ground, revealing a passage that descended at forty-five angles.
"Great, the mechanism has been activated, Xiaopi, you really are my lucky star. Yan Jie picked up the little monkey who hadn't figured out the situation yet, and wanted to kiss it excitedly, but after thinking about it, he gave up, grabbed its little paw with his left hand instead, and slapped his right hand with his right hand.
Yan Jie quickly put away the ancient books in the dark compartment and took the small skin into the passage.
This stone path was very long and steep, Yan Jie took the little monkey and walked cautiously, and after walking for about an hour, the originally inclined passage began to become level, and Yan Jie calculated that he had come to the bottom of this mountain from the mountainside.
After walking for about half a pillar of incense, the rumbling sound of water came, brushing aside the huge vines in front of him, a moonlight sprinkled in, stepping out of the passage, Yan Jie found that he had come to the small river at the foot of the mountain, the sky was completely dark at this time, the waterfall not far away was still roaring and constantly hitting the riverbed, and the bright moonlight shone on the river surface beside him, sparkling and beautiful.
"Finally came out, and not only got the monkey spirit ginseng, but also had a bigger harvest, let's hurry up and meet Long Lao." Yan Jie touched the book lying in his bag, greeted Xiaopi, and ran towards the place agreed with Long Lao.
